hey guys just wondering anyone of u know which of the shops sell more die cast model rather then the DIY ones?

 

BTW, u guys really me wanna go back to do it.. i remember i spoilt my 1st R1 model when i 1st started making it..

 

Everything was fine till i started the spraying.. bubbles form..I tried to sand paper it and respray again.. but then some part became too thick and the part where i never sandpapered it appear bubbles.. Anyone has any good ways to avoid it?

you should wash your plastics with detergent first, then prime them with grey or white primer before spraying the colour you desire..

does that means i have to wash them first before fixing them? meaning wash them pc by pc?

[iman87]

I think he meant wash the parts before u spray or paint. Then spray primer, Either white or grey. Use white if u intend to spray bright colors.

 

Also refrain spraying when the weather is cold, windy. Will affect your finish.

 

If you encounter bubbles when spraying,

 

Might be becoz sprayed to much, or uneven paint layer. try to spray 1 thin layer, then wait till dry, followed by the 2nd layer and on and on.

Eventually u'll get a nice coat of paint. Spray clear coat to protect the paint and have a very gloss finish.

 

Gd Luck!

suntec the hobby point that area/section is under renovation mahz.. so i don't know where the shop has temp shift to.. but millenia walk has hobby shop.. just at the escalator that side.. near the QB house($10 mobile hair cut)

[kurarensu]

btw.. i wana buy 1 model and make.. cant find aprilia rs125 lehz.. or ducati 999 >.<.. and i know how to assemble.. but do u all spray.. hw much issit never spray before.. no experience lehz..>.

 

then you all stick the parts together usin the glue they gif or any special glue? haha.. can PM me bahz.. thx.. i seldom check in this thread

[jytheorem]

duc999 model kit can find. The last time i saw it was in Hobby Point in Tiong Bahru.

Model kit pricing on average is bout $30.

 

There are various methods to paint the kit.

1) Air brushing

2) Using spray cans to spray

3) Use brushes

4) Markers

 

Air brushing is my prefered choice, but involves more $$ cos nid to buy the air compressor n gun
